androsta-3,5-diene-7,17-dione

Description:

Androsta-3,5-diene-7,17-dione, commonly known as androstenedione, is a steroid hormone and a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of androgens and estrogens. It is characterized by its structure, which includes a steroid backbone with a double bond at the 3 and 5 positions and keto groups at the 7 and 17 positions. This compound is typically a white to off-white crystalline powder and is soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and methanol but has limited solubility in water. Androstenedione plays a significant role in the endocrine system, being produced primarily in the adrenal glands and gonads. It is involved in various physiological processes, including the regulation of sexual development and function. In addition to its biological significance, androstenedione has been studied for its potential use in sports and bodybuilding, although its use is banned in many competitive sports due to its anabolic effects. Safety and regulatory considerations are important, as excessive levels can lead to hormonal imbalances and associated health risks.

Androst-3,5-diene-7,17-dione

Controlled Product

CAS: 1420-49-1

Androst-3,5-diene-7,17-dione is a supplement that has been shown to have antitumor activity in the treatment of advanced testicular cancer. It is a synthetic precursor of testosterone and is converted to testosterone by oxidation. The antitumor effects of Androst-3,5-diene-7,17-dione may be due to its ability to inhibit the production of ghrelin, a hormone that stimulates appetite and promotes tumor growth. In addition, Androst-3,5-diene-7,17-dione has been shown to have anabolic effects on muscle tissue and is used as a dietary supplement for bodybuilding.
